This is a fantastically easy recipe that will be my go-to PB cookie. I got 16 cookies from it and they were perfectly soft in the middle with a delicate crunch on the outside. I may reduce the vanilla and add a bit more salt next time to let the peanut butter flavor come through even more. The cookie dough comes together in hardly 5 min- I see no reason to bother with a version with more ingredients!

In reply to Masha M.. I'm so glad you've enjoyed them so much, Masha! Thank you for the feedback using the natural peanut butter. :)

I’ve tried these with natural peanut butter several times and (depending on the brand of peanut butter) they seem to work very well. It may take a couple of tries to find the right brand for you, but they’re definitely worth it if you prefer natural peanut butter!
I also love to put chocolate on top! I’ve always loved the idea of the recipes I’ve seen for peanut butter cookies with Hershey’s kisses on top, but not the execution. The cookie texture is never what I think it should be. But I tried it with these (and with various different types of chocolate) and they’re finally what I’ve been imagining! Thank you for this recipe!

In reply to Patti. To include peanut chips, I used half a cup of crunchy and half a cup of creamy peanut butter. The chips in crunchy are very small and did not cause issues with the cookies. Have used this recipe multiple times and always get rave reviews from folks.

In reply to Amanda. Hi Amanda! We actually discuss how to make these cookies without baking soda in the post. Do not substitute baking powder--they aren't the same

helloooo i was wondering if I could use baking powder since I don’t have baking soda on hand? I’d really like to make these asap!

In reply to Vicki. Hi Vicki! We haven't tried it, so we're not quite sure how it would work here.

In reply to Sam. I've just become gluten sensitive, so thank you for this recipe. Was wondering if youve tried adding some butter to this recipe and how that would be

In reply to J. Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that! Is it possible they were slightly over- baked?

So simple and delicious! I added chocolate chunks and sprinkled them with salt. Baking soda was a great addition

These were really good! I made these for a friend who is keto, so I used erythritol and coconut sugar and natural peanut butter and they turned out great! Although I’ll need to try these without keto ingredients soon to see the difference.

In reply to Patti. Hi Patti! The cookies may fall apart if added into the dough. You could try pressing them into the cookies after they are baked, while still warm. :)

Do you think peanut butter chips could be added, or would that be too much, without flour and all

I only used 1/2 c granulated sugar and left out the baking soda. I crisscrossed them with a fork. These are so delicious!!
